When we’re trying to lose weight, we often associate the “trying” part with suffering. We’re too hard on ourselves, we starve, and we feel constantly depleted.
The funny part is, we know the recipe for success. We know what we have to do to lose weight. And still, when we make a mistake, we feel like a failure. Often, we even give up as soon as it becomes uncomfortable.
And this is what I want to emphasize in today’s episode. We are hardwired to seek comfort, and avoid feeling discomfort. Because of this, we associate food with pleasure. And since we evolved to seek pleasure, we seek food to comfort us when negative feelings appear.
When it becomes hard to follow through on our plan, a bit of discipline goes a long way. You have the power to stop in your steps and ask yourself if you really want to regress to the beginning.
In the second part of the “Back-2-Basics” series, you’ll learn:
The number one reason that we don’t have the results we want in life.
How to avoid shaming yourself when you eat foods that aren’t healthy.
Tips on following through on your plans in an honest and realistic way.
Why failure is inevitable and why you need to become comfortable with it.
The benefits of adopting a learning mindset, instead of giving up.
Being kind to your slip-ups when you’re in the middle of your weight loss journey.
How reflection and being mindful of your emotions helps you to stay on course.
The power of talking to yourself like you’re talking to a child.
In this episode, you’ll learn how to go further than planning, follow through on your goals, and learn from your failures instead of giving up.
Give yourself the kindness you deserve, and you’ll see how success suddenly becomes more easy to reach.
